Appoggiatura

i dont know if this helps cos i'm struggling to understand your needs.
(maybe i'm dumb , but ive done bout 90 songs useing biab.)
if you could elucidate further please.
eg step 1 i want to do x. or need 1
step 2 i want to do y. or need 2
step 3 i want to do z or need 3
etc etc.

as to metronome i dont bother with any metronome provided by any music software.
never have.
i always reserve the first 4 bars in a song for a custom metronome i make using either midi
or using pg real drums. other times my first 4 bars might be 'drum scatting' or 'solos'
like a real drummer might do in a live setting. sometimes i create longer drum solo song intros
eg 12 bars.
one reason i like realband also so much is i can do lots of neat stuff drum trak wise.
from simple drum clicks to complex drum traks.
the KEY is…
just right clik over a trak in trak view , and youll see a loooong menu.
in that menu are lots of nice features for doing drum traks//intros//custom stuff.
but you will need to spend time understanding each feature.

as to mid if you find a midi patch , if you try to change it, reverts to original patch its not bb's fault.
midi is just data. what often happens is someone has imported a third party midi song from outside biab (eg the net).. and the creator of said midi song embedded special commands in the midi data stream which you need to delete to do your thing.

have you done a lot of work useing midi ?

hopefully above helps a bit.

best
om

ps if your bb chord sheet starts with all instruments
right at bar 1. you can insert before bar 1.
eg if you want 4 bar lead off...insert 4 blank bars
so NOW instrumentation starts at bar 5 instead.
thus the 4 bar lead off can have anything midi or audio.
even if you want a lead off clanking a water glass..lol.

so now the instrumentation starts at bar 5.
